High-Throughput Screenings
Cell-based
screenings of drugs and chemicals, such as screenings for new drug
candidates and toxicity screenings, are widely used in pharma,
biotechnology and cosmetic industry as well as in fundamental and
translational research. Droplet-Microarray platform offers a perfect
solution for performing fast, affordable and reliable screenings of
different types of compounds. Panels of compound libraries of interest
printed on solid carrier can be purchased in customized designs where
combinations and concentrations of substances can be defined by a
customer. Such libraries can be added to Droplet-Microarray containing
cells in single step enabling simultaneous initiation of screen on the
whole cell chip within minutes of time. Due to standard format and
transparency of Droplet-Microarray the phenotype changes in response to
the treatment can be analyzed using high content microscopy in
combination with conventional staining or immunofluorescence techniques.
